Thought I would send this along in regards to Geophile's post and comments about sites with views of prominent mountains. I have been shooting stone circles and other landscape features in Ireland for a while now and have noted the same. Ritualized sites all seen to be focussed on a sweeping view or significant landscape feature. I enclose a sample from this past summer's trip to Co. Kerry.
The circle at Gurteen had a view of the mountain pair The Paps, the breasts of the goddess Anu.
The effect is enhanced by cairns at the top of each, suggesting nipples. The second shot is a view of the Paps from the circle. I assume the earth goddess would approve of the wind farm to the right.
